This vessel was purchased new in 2003, and included many optional extras such as a powered winch for easy handling of the mainsail and furling of the genoa. The boat has seen further equipment added (2006), including a water maker, and solar panels mounted on a stout stainless steel gantry aft; all of which make for comfortable cruising. The boat has been carefully maintained stored on dry for 6 months every year and has only received light private use.
